An adapted tricycle for Damien: help Damien move freely

An adapted tricycle would give Damien independence - we're $6,050 away.

Damien lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at Nice General Hospital has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,050. His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Damien could go outside without waiting for someone to push. It would change everyday life for the whole family. We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $6,050 goes: • adapted tricycle: $5,500 • Fitting and training sessions: $105 • Delivery and set-up: $185 • First-year servicing plan: $260 Glad we found this place.

    Stay strong, Fabrice. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
